Which bit of the test suite fails for you?
I have it passing here with my patch.. Although it was notable that I
had to do a "make realclean" and also remove the old system libraries first:
/usr/share/perl5/PAR/StrippedPARL/Dynamic.pm
/usr/share/perl5/PAR/StrippedPARL/Static.pm
I agree the code isn't great, but it is a major bug that's been around
for three and a half years, and it breaks parl badly. Any fix is better
than no fix.
If you let me know what is failing for you, I can try and resolve that.
